Yep, I thought I was going this way... but kinda fell into the computer industry instead.Don't be impressed, a cadet job in this city is just a big gopher doing grunt work. But as an 18-year old punk, I didn't know any better, and thought it was fun. Being a police Explorer scout, on the other hand, was very rewarding and teaches young people quite a bit.
